"Moran is a decent DT, but we'll see how well he does in the 3-4. A line of 275, 300, and 290 is pretty big. Our 3-4 will resemble a 4-3 anyways (according to those with higher FBIQ than me) with Campbell acting as a stand-up DE. "
which one of those is your nose tackle? in order for the 3-4 to work, that nose has to crush the center so bad that atleast 1 guard has to help out, on every single play, would be even better if both guards had to help but atleast 1. Now, i don't know the strengths of every center on your schedule but I would think most centers are around 300 pounds, atleast in the big 12. I know nebraskas center is 305. Roughly the size of your nose tackle. Unless your nose tackle is built of pure muscle and power, which I don't think is possible I don't see NU having to double team your nose at all. Not to mention you need depth, you need another nose tackle to come in and give him a rest without their being to much of a drop off.
Ian is good, and he should put up good numbers but is one player enough? inorder for KSU to win games this year the defense will need to keep them in every game because the offense is going to struggle. That is why i said Brown should be on defense. I look at it like this. We all know that it's easier for a true frosh to make an impact on defense than offense, atleast I hope we all know that. Since the burden will fall on the lynch mobs shoulders to win games I think it would be in princes best interest to gut load that side of the ball with talent that already isn't on offense. Seriously, what kind of impact do you expect to see from a true frosh at wr at this level? especially one that really hasn't been featured at that position?
if you put him in as a true frosh at wr your actually hurting the defense, offense and the player all at once. for one your taking away what could be a key member to take this defense to a higher level, and you need that guy. ian is good but it's gonna take more than him. Offense will have no problems gameplanning around 1-2 playmakers, but as you add playmakers the ways to gameplan around them decrease exponentially. Sure, you could put him on offense, watch him struggle to learn the plays. He will see the field, maybe catch 1-2 balls per game. My question is, can't those 1-2 receptions go to one of your other wr's? what a waste of talent to put him at wr when he could reach his potential. and raise the level of play for the entire defense by playing defense. He will have a very very small impact on offense, if any as a true frosdh, but he could shine bright as gold on defense.
